The North Texas Chapter Fort Worth Office of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is hosting the 65 Roses Wine & Food Extravaganza on Wednesday, October 18, 2023 under the stars at Benbrook Stables. The 65 Roses Wine & Food Extravaganza is Fort Worth’s signature chef event with over 350 of the community’s most influential leaders in attendance. Support for this fundraising event is invaluable to making a difference in our community and for those who struggle with cystic fibrosis. On behalf of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, we are pleased to invite you to join our fundraising efforts for the 23rd Annual 65 Roses Wine & Food Extravaganza by donating a gift certificate to be included in our auction.

Funds raised at 65 Roses Wine & Food Extravaganza will go to support the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s mission to CURE cystic fibrosis and provide ALL people with the disease the opportunity to lead full, productive lives by funding research and drug development, partnering with the CF community, and advancing high-quality, specialized care. We are driven by a dream that one day – every person with cystic fibrosis will have the chance to live a long, healthy life. Recognized globally, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation has led the way in the fight against cystic fibrosis, fueling extraordinary medical and scientific progress. Working alongside the CF community, the CF Foundation has helped advance the development of more than a dozen CF treatments and added decades of life for those with CF. Thanks to this work, the life expectancy of someone born with CF has doubled in the last 30 years. 

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic, life-shortening, disease affecting 40,000 children and adults in the United States alone.  The respiratory system and digestive tract are both compromised by CF, making involuntary activities, like breathing and eating, extraordinarily difficult.  Scientific research is at its peak in this field; however, our work is not done.
